Work-Life Balance and Its Impact on Job Satisfaction and Burnout Among Nurses in a Provincial Private Hospital

This study investigated the work-life balance (WLB) of nurses, focusing on the physical, mental, social, and financial dimensions of their well-being, and how these factors related to job satisfaction and burnout. Given the increasing demand for healthcare professionals globally, particularly in the Philippines, addressing the challenges that nurses faced in balancing their professional and personal lives was crucial for improving job satisfaction, reducing burnout, and ensuring better retention rates. The research also evaluated the impact of institutional factors, such as staffing levels, shift duration, and management support, on nurses’ WLB, job satisfaction, and burnout levels. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through structured surveys, including demographic information, WLB dimensions, and institutional factors. The study aimed to propose targeted interventions, including flexible scheduling, wellness programs, recognition, and career development opportunities, to enhance nurses’ work-life balance, reduce burnout, and improve job satisfaction. The findings emphasized the need for organizational support to improve WLB and provided actionable recommendations for healthcare institutions to foster a healthier work environment. These interventions were vital in reducing turnover and ensuring that nurses remained engaged and motivated to provide high-quality patient care.
